And Conlan says the belt that he is fighting for in London is one he has always wanted.

“The Commonwealth belt seems to propel fighters onto bigger things as we’ve seen with Saunders.

“It’s a prestigious belt and another step on the road towards a world title.

“Everything is moving steadily in the right direction. Each fight is another step up the ladder and a box ticked on my journey towards a world title.

“We’re out in Marbella at the minute and we’re deep into the training camp.

“I’m loving everything, the weather is ideal and the training is brilliant. I’m eating, sleeping and thinking about boxing the whole time. All I do is concentrate on this fight.”
